On the top of a city center rise is Constitution Hill. Back in the early days of Johannesburg city it was a fort. It was then turned into a men and women's prison. This is where native resident, Gandhi spent many years for his outspoken ways and peaceful demonstrations. Both Winnie and Nelson Mandela were held here too. The bus driver negotiated the busy, crowded, taxi strewn streets to deposit us to this stop on the tour. We felt the inhumanity and reverence of this significant piece of world history.
